SP style Nose Lights and Mars beams - 1/29 Scale
Posted by SALINAS HAULER on Tuesday, February 17, 2009 11:33 PM

Does anyone make a complete SP style nose light package? I want to enhance my Aristocraft SP SD-45's.  That is the 1 red warning light sitting on top of 2 white headlights side-by-side. Not the same look with out them.

Also are there SP-style Mars beam lights for a GP-9 available?   That's the one big thing I miss about HO scale . The amount of commercially available detail parts.

Thanks Dave. With some new BRASS 1/32 Geeps coming on line, perhaps, there may be a commercially viable option to the Mars beam dilemma.

Dave Bodnar (dave@davebodnar.com)has some neat stuff with Mars lights, could probably make you one. Richmond Controls is another option.

Thanks Jerry. I will give both a try.  Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
